19. Board Recommendation
Traffic Safety SHAC recommends increasing public awareness of traffic dangers that exist around our campuses: 1) Each District Campus be required to prepare a traffic flow diagram and include this diagram in each registration and welcome package provided to students and/or parents. Administration should consistently establish the expectation that parents and staff adhere to the published traffic flow diagram. 2) Driver safety messages and programs be regularly promoted to high school students.

20. Board Recommendation Traffic Safety cont.
3) The District work with local media and on a regular basis utilize social media. Use the District website and any other available media to publicize the need to exercise extreme care in school zones and follow all traffic laws.
4) The District, on a regular basis, conduct well publicized targeted campaigns at campuses, which would involve increased police presence, to deliver a strong and consistent message to the community regarding student/traffic safety.

21. Board Recommendation Drop Out Prevention
SHAC recommends the use of a “Campus Atmosphere Survey” to measure how comfortable students and parents are with faculty, facility and curriculum.

22. Board Recommendation
Social Emotional Health Because most bullying and abuse incidence are reported by District employees, SHAC recommends increasing the “Darkness to Light” training to include all administrators, teachers and support staff. SHAC also recommends continued District trainings that address anti Bullying.

23. Board Recommendation
School Nutrition SHAC supports the District’s decision to close Campus for Freshman and Sophomore lunch periods. SHAC would support closed campus lunch for all Secondary students when appropriate schedules and facilities are available.

24. Board Recommendation School Nutrition cont.
SHAC recommends “Recess before Lunch” at Elementary Campuses.

25. Board Recommendation
Heath Curriculum Due to the increasing health challenges of Ector County’s Youth, SHAC recommends a HealthTeacher pilot program. MCH’s donated online health lessons would be incorporated into core academic curriculum. SHAC believes our students desperately need access to health information.

26. Board Recommendation
Heath Curriculum cont. SHAC recommends each School select an Administrator to liaison between the HGD Agencies (TTUHSC and TLC) and the District Campuses.

27. Board Recommendation Heath Curriculum cont.
